5th Annual SI Player Rankings: #6 SG

[elcheato]

Sports are about more than stats and I'm sorry if you can't realize that and this is coming from someone who has written thesis papers on basketball advanced statistics

Everything is translated into statistics. It's more about statistics than basketball purists want to admit.

I don't think someone who has never watched the game and doesn't understand it could construct a team by just looking at numbers, but to optimally construct a team, you better have someone who knows the game crunching numbers.

Look, since y'all seem to be so against Kobe being good next year, I'm very willing to make a bet here.
 
 
You set the statistical parameters he has to meet, and the wage being bet upon, and we'll negotiate from there.

YOU'RE A SIMPLETON

 

[elcheato]

I may be stupid, but I'm also dumb

 

[CameronCrazy06]

You had it set to M for Mini, when it should be set to W for Wumbo!!!

 

[elcheato]

Need some more of the Canadians to peep this thread and it's a wrap #ova

Serious question--if Wes Matthews hadn't gotten hurt, would more of you voted for him at 5? Because at 100% and 100%, Wes Matthews is a better player than JJ Redick.

 

[elcheato]

Redick had a better season than Matthews so I wouldn't

 

[CameronCrazy06]

I will NOT let Wiggins win this. That would be so ludicrous 

 

[elcheato]

You fell for the trapppp

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Change your vote to Wes too then and let's end this

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I will NOT let Wiggins win this. That would be so ludicrous 

He's going to be great but he's not there yet

 

[CameronCrazy06]

Yeah I don't even think he's top 10 based on last season

 

[jonathanlambert33]

Just another example of people doing nothing but looking at raw stats and not getting that it's easier to rack up on good stats on bad teams.

 

[elcheato]

We are basing this on who we want tomorrow. Tomorrow Wiggins will be vastly improved you fuck asses

 

[elcheato]

Is KAT a top 10 center right now?

 

[jonathanlambert33]

I don't think rookies ahould be eligible

 

[RipCity32]

Why is Kevin Martin not on the poll but Dion Waiters is?

I mean are you going to vote Kevin Martin here? What the hell is the difference.

 

[RipCity32]

I took Wes just to end this though.

I mean are you going to vote Kevin Martin here? What the hell is the difference.

 
The difference is one deserves consideration and one doesn't haha
